PLANET XYLOX 2.0

---

Hey all!

Remember all of those big updates we kept promising? Well, I'm happy to announce that it wasn't a bluff! Welcome to what we're dubbing...

✨PLANET XYLOX 2.0!✨

🎲NEW FEATURES GALORE!🎲

We have a serving of new features and improvements to existing features to share with you!

• The ability to change a character's background on the dress up game has been added! There are currently 20 different options to choose from with more to be added in the future. Press the arrow buttons to swap between them!
  - The ability to randomize a character's outfit has been added! Simply click the dice button and it will take something from each layer that you've unlocked and apply it to your character. It does NOT alter layers that are non removable (such as hands, faces, ears) so you will need to choose these yourself. 
  - Cards are now hidden around the site. You'll soon spot them - they'll be floating above the page! Click on one and it'll be transported to your inventory so that you can open it on the Cards page. There's three to find each day and they are only on core pages, not sub pages. Good luck hunting!
  - Signatures are now animated when moused over. Give it a try at the end of this blogpost!

🐍GAMES🐍

Introducing games! A brand new page where you can play games to earn experience towards cards. This is complimentary to the Quiz and you can still earn the same amount of cards through it. The games page simply allows you to earn even more! We hope this gives you more incentive to grab cards and unlock outfits for the dress up game. Right now the games page has launched with three different games to play - Snake, Wordsearch and Jigsaw. Please do give them a go! 

 

🏠HOMEPAGE 🏠

The homepage has been given an update! It now makes it clearer what the main crux of the website is and should point you in the right direction. We've also added a brand new random character feature! As long as you're signed in, you can now click on lil' ol' me to get directed towards a random character page. Perfect for meeting new faces! We've also added a dress up promo where Gary used to be (don't worry, he's moved next to me!) - It'll be updated with the latest character(s) available and upon clicking it will direct you right to them to play. The latest news section has been upgraded too - it now shows even more news! We've also updated the quick navigation with some fresh faces that'll take you to even more pages!

 

🐞CHANGES/BUGFIXES🐞
- Remember how you could only unlock certain clothing with secret codes? That's no longer the case! You can now unlock any previously exclusive item through Cards too. Don't worry, all of the codes are still active so you'll be rewarded for tracking them down! We may choose to release new clothing purely through secret codes again in the future but for now everything can be unlocked through the cards. Hope you enjoy this new streamlined process! The idea was to make a good balance where you are rewarded for being curious and looking around whilst still having the option to relax, take it easy and progress in your own way without being locked out of a huge pool of items. 
- Streamlined the card opening process. It got slower the more clothing you unlocked so we have fixed this to make it quicker!
- Fixed an issue where three of OG Rufus' items lacked proper ID thus making them unobtainable. You can get them through Cards now! 
- Navigation has changed! The drop down menus have been removed so that important pages aren't hidden. Let us know how you like it! We can change back if needed. 
- Fixed issues regarding completing and unlocking all dress up items - Now that cards are so much easier to unlock this should be somehting more players will experience! 

 

⏳COMING SOON⌛

Well, your average blog post! We had a standard December Update in the works but with all of these site updates we decided it was best to delay it for now. One thing we did want to quickly note though is that I (Rufus) got some new festive clothing! You can grab them through Cards of course but we'll also have some codes to directly unlock them in the next post. 

More games. This was just us getting started! As of writing this we have at least three more in development. We're also considering a feature where you'll be able to unlock exclusive inspired clothing through playing specific games, like a snake shirt for example! That's still in the brainstorming phase though. We've also got an idea for another dress up feature though it is quite ambitious... We'll have to code overtime and see if we can pull it off! We're also planning to take a look at the newer themes and give them some much needed polish.

As you can imagine with lots of changes and rearranges comes the opportunity for bugs to rise... Let us know if you spot any in the Guestbook and we'll get to squishing them! Or containing them in a jar or something... That also sounds so cruel... We'll uh, set them free!

Alright, see you very soon hopefully!
